So I knew there were some troubles users had going into this setup but everything seemed to be managable, but now I'm stuck.

I got the OS installed and I'm having trouble now with the initial setup. The behavior im getting is that when I let the system boot normally, the AVWizard will not run and i cant get any picture. I get stuck in an endless loop of X resets.

I booted into recovery mode and manually configured my display. Now if I run X or startx while in recovery mode the system looks BEAUTIFUL. Problem is, if I try to kick off the AVWizard_Run.sh or go ahead and reboot the same problem persists. When I try to fire off AVWizard_Run.sh manually, it seems to cut itself short and behaves the same way it would if you called AVWizard from a konsole window with X running, except that I dont even get the initial welcome screen to display.

When I looked back at my xorg.conf file I found that it had been rolled back to the vesa driver and was set to 640x480 so I tried adding the command

Well, I went with the M3A instead of the M3N for the DM Port and as i said, all the trouble everyone else had seemed manageable. Are there any links regarding AVWizard/pluto troubleshooting/issue report you could provide? I have considered scrapping and swapping out for the M3N but I'm a little stubborn and want to make sure i've exhausted my options.

After furter digging on the machine i found that the xorg-driver-fglrx package is getting removed from the system when i boot to the normal mode, any input on what may cause that?

FYI - i found the issue. I really wasnt having any trouble with the ATI card or drivers. My error was just plain dumb. I had the problem with microscopic fonts in KDE so i added the -dpi 96 to the Start_X_Wrapper.sh for pluto. The problem was that i added the option to the client side of the line rather than the server side of xinit. I got stuck in the loop of x restarting because the wrapper was unable to launch the environment with the malformed command so then it would try to re-init my display settings and overwrite my xorg.conf. I fixed my placement for the dpi option, replaced my xorg.conf, then reinstalled the display driver from scratch and the display is working beautifully since.
